The Legacy Donor Foundation provides education and public awareness activities about organ donation. We seek to increase donor registrations and foster informed family acceptance of the process. When the Legacy Donor Foundation was founded, there were 450,000 names on Louisiana’s Legacy Organ and Tissue Donor Registry. Today, there are over 2 million names on the registry! The Foundation is a part of the Donate Life Louisiana collaborative.

We are a two-year residential program offering a holistic approach to recovery including housing, food, mental and physical healthcare, job training, and education.

UNITY of Greater New Orleans is a nonprofit founded in 1992 that leads a collaborative of 60 organizations providing housing and services for the homeless. UNITY helped to spearhead a nearly 80 percent reduction in homelessness since the aftermath of Katrina left thousands of vulnerable people homeless and without family support or medical care. With our private and governmental partners, UNITY is currently coordinating the 200 Homes in 100 Days campaign, a drive to permanently house 200 mentally or physically disabled, chronically homeless people by September 1. Funds raised at the Love Sessions will support this campaign by providing the outreach services, furnishings and supplies necessary to house those who have nothing.

The Louisiana Children’s Museum promotes memorable, hands-on participatory learning for children of all ages. Encouraging discovery through observation, inquiry, creative construction, role-playing, problem-solving, and free play, the Museum motivates children to develop their cognitive, physical, and social skills while enjoying fruitful interaction with adults and peers. The Museum also strives to reduce accessibility barriers by dedicating more than half its program budget to learning activities that take place beyond its walls in schools and childcare facilities. Each day the Louisiana Children’s Museum continues its mission of being New Orleans’ leading informal educational institution by providing invaluable learning opportunities to the children and families of the Greater New Orleans community.

The New Orleans Jazz Orchestra is the first and only performing arts institution committed solely to the development of an Industry for Jazz. Founded in 2002 by Artistic Director Irvin Mayfield, NOJO’s mission is to strengthen the business of Jazz through presenting a concert season of events, music education, tours, recordings, and community partnerships. As the only organization of its kind in the nation dedicated to creating artistically-driven Jazz experiences, NOJO recently celebrated its tenth anniversary with a legendary concert at New York City’s Carnegie Hall.
